Oriental Girl Smiles. (ADU)

Afternoon - I know I say this every month but I love our new releases for April! They are so gorgeous and I got to play with Oriental Girl. 
You can see all the other new release images over at the challenge blog where the Dt have created some inspiration.

The greeting is from Make it Crafty chippie embellishments anfd I coloured this with copics and then added a shimmer over the top using a Spectrum Noir glitter pen.
The background paper is from Creative Imaginations and I have had it my stash for ages! I also raided my stash for the little Chinese lanterns which are from K&Co.

I used Copics to colour the image and added some details with gold pen.

Hello - It's Sunday so Dr Digi Time and this week I've used Tea Trolly Dolly.
We are big fans of the TEA over at Dr Digi and I admit I consume far too much Tea on a daily basis! Especially when I am at work which is where I will be when you are reading this - I know... on a Bank Holiday weekend. Poor me!!

I covered a round card base with papers from My Favourite Things Just delightful Fun & Frolics and die cut the edge of one with a My Favourite Things scalloped edge die. I also used a Lawn fawn stitched circle dies for the image and greeting. I added a tea cup sticker from K&Co Bloomscape.
I added some Doodlebug enamel dots and a little red heart sticker.

I used these promarkers & Flexmarkers -
Skin - Usual
Tea Urn & Trolley - Cool Greys
Dress - Sky Blue and Powder Blue
Trays - Sandstone, Cinnamon & Raw Sienna.
Apron -  Lemon, Summer Sun & Gold.
Letters & Hearts - Poppy.

I hope you like our Dolly and don't forget to keep sharing your Dr Digi creations with us.

Jane's 40th Birthday.

I'm a little late posting this card as I have been away this weekend at my friends 40th Birthday party at there house in Llanbedrog.
Jane is one of the many friends turning 40 this year. I've know her since I was about 4 yrs old and is more like a sister really, so I know I can get away with a cheeky card! The comment says, "By the time she turned 40, Jane had mastered Multi-tasking." And I know for a fact that she uses her Laptop on the loo!!

The party was fab and we all had lots to drink. I made Vodka jelly and there was a bouncy castle - which we allowed the kids to play on for a little while.
The image is from Dr Digi and is called Airfresh Fiona. I added some gem swirls from the spray of the airfreshner over the top of the background paper. I mounted the orange cut out paper from K& Co onto Black to make it stand out and I mounted the image and caption onto black also. The caption I did on the computer. I then added some red and black ribbon to tie the colours together and a Happy Birthday die cut in mirri card. I'm pleased with how it turned out.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Spice, coral, soft peach, blush & Antique white.
Toilet and roll - Blue Greys
Computer - Warm greys
Top - Buttercup, mustard & Pinapple crush.
Cushion - Red, poppy, Ruby & Cardinal red.
Plant - Terracotta & Leaf green.
Jeans - Denim Blue, Powder blue & Capri blue.
Hair - Terracotta, Walnut & Henna.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges :
Ladybug Crafts - Special birthdays.
Scrap & Craft - birthday celebration.
Through the Purple Haze - Funny.

I'll try to be a more prompt next weeks with my posting!

Sunny Miss Weeble

There is a new challenge starting over at I Love Promarkers and the theme is Summer! Its just perfect for this heat wave we have had today (We will wait and see if it continues?!) I am defiantly a Sun Worshiper and love being outside in the warm weather. Its making the garden bloom too.

I made this card using an image from the sponsor of the challenge - Stitchy Bear and the image is called Miss Weeble. 
The Background papers are from Echo Park Splash collection as is the "SUNNY" sticker. I have also added some butterflies and a chinese lantern from K&Co Grand Adhesions. I added a few Martha Stewart glittery resin flower embellishments. I added a little gold detail from to the image from a pilot pen.

The promarkers I've used on Miss Weeble are -
Hair & Sash - Baby Pink, Carmine & Cerise.
Dress - Oasis & Turqoise.
Skin - Coral, Soft Peach, Blush & Antique White.
Umberella - Poppy & Ruby /  Summer Sun & Canary.
Handle - Cocoa & Henna. 

The theme is just perfect for this heat wave we have had today (We will wait and see if it continues?!) I am defiantly a Sun Worshiper and love being outside in the warm weather. Its making the garden bloom too. Im pleased with creations in the garden - (And I have the other half to thank for watering it regularly!!) So here's a couple of pics - I love my little shed and my veggie patches. We've had chicken salad for tea with freshly picked veg!

 

All for now from me. I'm back off out into the sun! (:(|)x
